well I find the LA CUMBRE "ELEVATED IPA" to be similar although
i am waiting on some fresh heady topper and will do a side by side comparison to find out for sure
but i think it has a lot of the same hop profiles and both are canned lol it is just hard to find something that lip smacking good
What are these people tasting in Hop Stoopid that they think it taste like HEADY it isnt in the same ballpark or League Hop stoopid is playground and Heady Topper is the World Series as steven a smith would say "CMON MAN!!!"
anyway if you like heady topper you must try ELEVATED IPA it wont disappoint

See, I found Lunch to be very good and very fruity, but much, much less bitter than Heady Topper. I really liked Lunch, but what stuck out about it for me was the surprising LACK of real bitterness. Plenty of hops, don't get me wrong, just very concentrated on the late hop / hop bursting kind of fruitiness rather than bitterness.

see the title is misleading, is the op asking what beers are as good as heady topper, or that taste almost the same? imho there is no other double ipa as good as topper, but there are quite a few that are close.

The only brew mentioned in this thread that's close is Abrasive. Some brews like Sucks is closer to PTE than HT. But IMO Abrasive is right there with HT as far as being top dog. If your in a ship to state france44 has Abrasive for sale. I've had them back to back, and I might have a hard time separating them, but the nose of Abrasive is more grapefruit, and a little more bitter.
